Its been more than 4 months since Phil Heath assumed the position of "World's Second Best" and it appeared he was ready to conquer Columbus next month. This week on PBW, Heath discusses a variety of topics, including his surprising decision to pass up an opportunity for his first Arnold title...and it now appears that his singular target is Jay Cutler! - As part of this week's show, "The Gift" also chats with Chad Nicholls about his preparation strategy to defeat the reigning 4-time champion. Presented by MuscleTech, the 2011 season of bodybuilding talk radio airs LIVE on Mondays at 8pm ET.

phil came in phenomenal and lost. jay came in (having seen better days) and won.

until jay retires, there's not much phil can do.

Still, 2nd or 3rd at the O every year ain't the worst thing in the world.

Chad is saying that Phil can't do anything to beat Jay (other than Jay beating himself), which I agree with. When the #2 guy in the world is powerless to take the title, it brings in the real possibility of Jay becoming the most decorated Mr. Olympia ever. Jay could go on to win 3 or 4 more Olympias along with his 5 runner-ups, which would be an unbelievable Olympia career.

Most decorated Mr. O? Whatever?! Most over-rated Mr. O. Jay is the most "gifted" bber in Pro history...

Shitty shape, shitty aesthetics, shitty back, most of the time shitty conditioning, he lacks the "oh shit!" factor. Shitty personality, and shitty training...all multiple Mr. O's have that persona about them that they are untouchable, and have a certain charisma about them---in various forms...Jay lacks that as well.

If Jay wins 8 Olympias with 5 runner-ups, he'd be the most decorated. It doesn't mean that he'd be the best Mr. O ever, just that he beat the competition of his time. I agree that Arnold, Haney, Yates, and Coleman would still rank above him.

I said before, that often times the one who you think would be Mr. O, never is. Flex, nope. Shawn, nope. Kevin, nope. And in this era of mediocre Pros, Phil is the best one, but Phil of today at his best so far, has been knocking and can't even win the Arnold...hmmmm.

all the guys you mention are black. funny enough.

all of them had the same problem. not enough size to defeat yates, or coleman who were on par conditioning wise and had greater size.

and now we have phil, who does not have enough size, to beat cutler, or kia, when they are in similar conditioning.

what about this dont you understand?

i asked why you like bodybuilding so much having not done it yourself. and you said, "why does it matter"well this is why buddy,

cause your criticism of it is absolutely ignorant.

Are you talking about competitive bbing? i haven't competed... If I decide to, are you willing to donate a kidney? If not, then what's the deal.

The majority of people on here do think that Phil won, but that doesn't matter. If judged on size alone, Jay wins, but when you go bodypart, Jay has some glaring weaknesses that the other have as strengths. Jay has been gifted win after win, especially his Arnold wins...it shows that they WANT him there...

parker youre a nice guy but you must let go of the racist crap, come on

What's racist...Look, we have no Dennis Newman's, no Mike Francois. And I think Ben Pakulski will do damge in the future...I've stated that consistently.I've never been a fan of Cutler, ever since he won his Pro card. But, "they" want him there, "they" have pushed him....and "they" have made excuses for him.

Now, blacks rep a small minority of bbing, yet have won their Pro cards, and are at the top of most Mr. Os and contests, is that racist? I think it's prejudice for many of you to keep making excuses for Jay, because he is white...yet come with the calling of others as racist..ya'll don't know what racism is...And the word is too overly used, by black and white...

It's not that Jay is being gifted his wins, he doesn't have any competition. Phil is as narrow as a stick. Kai and Victor can't seem to pull it together on gameday. Branch is too short. Wolf is stuck in neutral. It will take new blood to beat Jay because the current crop can't catch him.

Probably true... it comes down to the fact he most closely matches the judging standards of the day. Other guys have prettier physiques... he's the biggest... They give the trophy to the biggest guy now. If it was 1978, Jay would probably be losing to swimmer zane. if it was 1975, he'd look like a while next to a graceful Arnold. It's 2011... 270+ without pretty lines is what is winning right now.
